You can't just make claims then not back them up and keep fighting for them and expect people to take you seriously. Not a way to be credible at all. You make the claim the onus is on you to back it up.0 -

It's not about how easy it is to find, it's easy to find UFO sightings by assumedly reputable people. It's about actual science backing up your and their claims. Studies, and not just a single one when everything else says the opposite.0 -

Request denied. Do your own research.
challenge accepted..
here you go:
The Minnesota Study
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minnesota_Starvation_Experiment
Every controlled study where a deficit was created resulted in weight loss 100% of the time. Regardless of every other factor. A caloric deficit = weight loss. Always. Even in actual starvation studies like the often cited Minnesota Starvation Experiment.
In this study, 36 men were put on a 24 week long “starvation diet” consisting of two meals per day containing a total of 1560 calories, and that amount was then reduced further throughout the study to ensure weight loss kept happening
For these men, this represented a daily deficit of 50% below maintenance (compare that to a typically recommended “ideal” moderate deficit of 20%). Oh, and they all had to walk 22 miles per week as well.
Guess what happened? All of the participants lost approximately 25% of their starting body weight and reached about 5% body fat. So they were purposely (semi) starved for 6 straight months, and they all lost tons of weight/body fat.
So if you were correct the participants would of gained weight, because survival mode....0 -

Fat comes off where your genetics tell it to come off, during a caloric deficit.Capt_Apollo wrote: »Ray, i've done zero HIIT cardio in the last three twelve months, but have lost 18 100 lbs
All other things being equal, if sprinting for 10 minutes burns X total calories and then you eat back those X calories, you won't ever lose the belly fat (while you're alive).

Yes you will still lose belly fat (eventually) by eating back exercise calories, assuming you are in a deficit with your calorie target. That is how MFP is designed to work.
The body will choose where it comes from, but lose enough and you will lose everywhere.0 -

If you burn X with exercise and eat back X, there will be no net change.

Of course, but that isn't how MFP is set up or what he was talking about.
Eating 1500 and not exercising would have the same weight loss effect of eating 1900 and burning 400 cals from cardio. both net to 1500.0 -
Which is what I said about 45 posts ago.

Ultimately, the belly fat goes away because of the caloric deficit, with or without cardio.

i know all i'm saying is just n=1 anecdotal evidence but....
i've ate at a 1lb per week deficit January through March. i added a lot more fruits and vegetables to my diet, and cut back on alcohol. i started being much more accurate with my diet, to the point that if i couldn't find it in the database, i wouldn't eat it.
like i said, i've lost about 18 pounds.
this is a triathlete talking here, and i'm saying it doesn't matter how much cardio you do. it's all about how, what, and in some cases, when you eat.0 -
The (modified) quote was to agree with Capt_Apollo and the statement was to disagree with RayInMotion. Sorry for the lack of clarity.

Gotchya, sorry I missed that. Probably since he didn't quote Ray, just wrote his name. I am tracking now.0 -

Complete and utter BS
Since you guys don't want to read the articles I reference or do your own research into how lower calories lower your metabolism, here's something from Oxford University on a study of reduced calorie intake, and how it reduces metabolism and causes you to lose lean body mass. Took me all of 30 seconds to find:
"Subjects lost a significant amount of weight, approximately 9% of baseline weight (95.2 ± 3.2 kg), a significant amount of fat-free mass, approximately 5% of baseline (52.6 ± 2.7 kg), and a significant amount of fat mass, approximately 15% of baseline (42.6 ± 1.8 kg). In addition to losing mass, the following significant changes from baseline measurements were reported in the post-diet assessment period: a 15% decrease in absolute resting metabolic rate (1789.8 ± 80.2 kcal/24 hours, baseline), and an 8% decrease in resting metabolic rate relative to fat-free mass (33.8 ± 0.7 kcal/24 hours/kg fat-free mass, baseline)."0 -

Do you think you burn 9% of your baseline weight, 5% of lean body mass, or 15% of baseline fat when you sprint for 10 minutes?
If so, I could've lost almost 100 pounds by sprinting for 30 minutes. If not, how's that relevant to not eating a handful of calories rather than sprint off those calories?0 -
http://m.fampra.oxfordjournals.org/content/16/2/196.full
That's extremely pathetic of you to misrepresent that study to try and back up what you are claiming.
Let's look at the stuff you just decided to leave out of quoting.
Like 1100 calorie diets and 15% protein intake. I guess you didn't think that was relevant huh?
Also
someone just got busted....0 -

You're really going to make the argument that you don't understand the difference between the effects of eating at enough of a deficit to lose 9% of your baseline weight and the effects of eating however many fewer calories than will get burned in 10 minutes of sprinting? Really?RayInMotion wrote: »
I have no idea how the part of decreased calories lowered their metabolic rate doesn't back up my claim of decreased calories lowers metabolic rate.

because you said this:
"Except not eating slows your metabolism and starves your body, putting it into fat-storing mode."
if that were true the people in your study would not have lost weight...because "fat storing mode"0 -
